OT-IE Jump

[LMO]

Aloha. Off topic, I know, but I always get good info here.
Lately, when I do IE searches, instead of going to a chosen site, IE takes
me to some other site (Search Explorer, etc). and first says Jump.
What the heck is this, and how do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Hi,
You probably have at least one malicious program (malware) installed and
running.

1. Scan with Windows Defender.

2. Run the Malicious Software Removal Tool.

This is not a wide-spectrum tool, but is worth running.

3. Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php

4. If there is *any* reason to suspect that these tools didn't remove all
malware, visit one of these sites, register and follow the protocol.
